- Serves:
-
12
ingredients
- 6 tablespoons coffee (decaf OK, but NO flavored stuff)
- 1 egg
- cold water
directions
- Fill the coffee pot with fresh, cold water, to just a bit obove the bottom of the spout.
- Bring to a rolling boil.
- Meantime, mix the coffee & the egg, INCLUDING the SHELL, in a small bowl.
- When water comes to a boil, reduce heat until water is just boiling.
- Add coffee/egg mixture to the water, stirring CONSTANTLY & adjust the heat so as NOT to boil over!
- Now here's the tricky part -- stirring constantly, brew for about 3-5 minutes, until the "froth" disappears -- you can almost "feel" the water change.
- Remove from the heat & pour in about 1 to 1 ½ cups COLD water & let set for 5-10 minutes -- this will make the grounds settle to the bottom.
- There will be some grounds in the spout -- just pour them off.
- ENJOY!

<p><strong>The only thing I like better than cooking, is eating!

I <span>LUV</span> to bbq & grill!!<img title=Cool src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /> Except for pies, I don't do much baking, such as cookies, bars or cakes...that's the wife's dept. & believe me, she does a mighty FINE job!!! <br />I'm a firm believer that flavored coffee & flavored beer should be OUTLAWED & I will NOT eat Lima Beans or Lutefisk...YUK!!! <img title=Yell src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /><br />Our favorite place to eat is Old Abe's...a local supper club located on a wooded back-road! We also enjoy Panera Bread, Dickey's BBQ & Picanha Brazillian Steak House!!!<br />I've been married since 1977 to the most wonderful lady a man could ever ask for.
